There is “nothing” made in S Scale!
I don’t “play” with American Flyer!
• If this were true, how do I own a VERY extensive collection of there is “nothing” made in S Scale?
• None of the following models have anything to do with American Flyer !

Why Choose S Scale?
• When I switched to S Scale from HO in 1987, the scale was at the beginning of a rebirth, with some nicely detailed generic plastic models available. Since that time, the growth and availability of new products and rolling stock has been nothing short of amazing. My interest in the PRR has evolved and grown along with the growth of S Scale. The Mighty Pennsy accounts for a large portion of the S Scale market. I will show you that you can plan and build a viable PRR layout with the products that are currently available. While there is not the total diversity of rolling stock that HO has, most major class pieces have been made, with more on the way. S Scale is approximately 33% larger then HO, (1:64th or 3/16” = 1”) for those “aging HO eyes.” Unlike O Scale “standard gauge”, which actually scales out to be 5 feet wide, S Scale has the correct standard gauge track width. Furthermore, BTS (formally Bills Train shop) http://www.btsrr.com is producing the East Broad Top in Sn3 in its entirety if you want to add a prototypical narrow gauge line.
• The following is a current listing of accurately detailed models that have been or are being produced for PRR Prototypes, or can be easily made into reasonably accurate PRR models with some minor details added. While the detail level of the stock S Scale models is good to outstanding, my modeling for the past 10 years has been changing something to make it unique or superdetailing to make the model mine. Most of the models shown are mine. With that said most of the models shown here are not stock out of the box, but that is what Model Railroading is all about anyway. I have at least one of most of the models listed here, but they may not be painted yet.

Brass ModelsMy “small” obsession!
• The PRR has been pretty well represented for a minority scale in most categories of brass rolling stock
• Most new S Brass is underpriced when compared to HO and O Scale models.
• Most new S brass was and still is bought directly from the importer. (Overland in the late 80s and early 1990s was the exception)

Brass Diesels• Many PRR brass diesels have been
produced in S Scale, mostly from Overland Models. River Raisin Models has made diesels as well.
• The larger size makes sound unit installation much easier!

S Scale today is not your old American Flyer. It is also not the Scratchbuilders scale that it was years ago. • This is where I could have continued the listing by including the many
other plastic R-T-R and kit form cars that are available. However, the focus for this article is accurate PRR prototypes. Even the most discriminating modeler in any scale has to fill in the rolling stock collection with more generic models
• Considering that 80% of the above models were not available when I switched to S Scale in 1987, I truly believe that S Scale will only continue to grow at a faster rate then it has previously. What attracted me is that it was a minority scale. I can be a little obsessive. There was not the pressure of wanting everything that I might have had in HO. You can get everything if you want. However, even if you did that, you would still have a sizable collection and investment as you have seen.
• You can also call up the owner of a company at home to make modeling or project suggestions. It very well could get made. I know that to be true, because I have done it. Try that with any of the major manufacturers in other scales! S Scale is a close knit community of people and friends that enjoy the common bond of modeling in the scale between HO and O Scale.
